c++: No instance of overloaded function

Question

highInterestChecking Header:

#ifndef H_highInterestChecking
#define H_highInterestChecking
#include "noservicechargechecking.h"
#include <string>

class highInterestChecking: public noServiceChargeChecking
{
public:
    highInterestChecking(std::string =" ",int = 0, double = 0.00, double = 0.00, double = 0.00);
};
#endif

highInterestChecking cpp:

#include "highInterestChecking.h"
using std::string;

highInterestChecking::highInterestChecking(string name, int acct, double bal, int numCheck, double min, double i)
{
    bankAccount::setAcctOwnersName(name);
    bankAccount::setAcctNum(acct);
    bankAccount::setBalance(bal);
    checkingAccount::setChecks(numCheck);
    noServiceChargeChecking::setMinBalance(min);
    noServiceChargeChecking::setInterestRate(i);
}

I have the error "No instance of overloaded function." under the constructor name highInterestChecking in the cpp file not sure what is causing it ive looked at it for a while now can't seem to find an error. maybe someone will help?

Solution 1

In the header you have:

highInterestChecking(std::string =" ",int = 0, double = 0.00, double = 0.00, double = 0.00);

Which takes 5 arguments, In the source file you have:

 highInterestChecking::highInterestChecking(string name, int acct, double bal, int numCheck, double min, double i)

                                                                                ^^^^^^^^^^^

which takes 6 arguments. It seems like int numCheck does not match the header signature.

Solution 2

You have this constructor in the class declaration:

highInterestChecking(std::string =" ",int = 0, double = 0.00, double = 0.00, double = 0.00);

and this one in the class definition:

highInterestChecking::highInterestChecking(string name, int acct, double bal, int numCheck, double min, double i)

The parameter types from both parameter lists must match.

Solution 3

  highInterestChecking::highInterestChecking(string name, int acct, 
                           double bal, int numCheck, double min, double i)
                                       //^^^

does not exist in your class's header file, header file has 5 parameters, but you have 6 in cpp file, parameter type seems mismatched,

This is misleading. They don't need to be "the same" lexically, though they must describe the same list of parameter types.

Thank you lol how did i miss that i swear i counted the parameters guess my eyes are starting to go lol

@EricOudin that is a sign you have too many parameters. You could consider bundling some of them into a class.
